Chapter 83 [VIP] Best Friend's Shield (21)
Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he didn't know how to describe how he felt at the moment.
Maybe it was complicated. In order to stabilize Wanrou's emotions, and also because of a momentary guilt, he agreed to her request, but he couldn't give her what she wanted, which led to the current dilemma...
Fu Qingzhou stayed with her in the hospital all night until noon the next day. He hurriedly bought some toiletries and some light porridge nearby and brought them to the hospital. He was worried that she had slept too long and would be hungry when she woke up without anything to eat, so he bought some breakfast and also bought some dry clothes for her to change into.
He was away for just a short while, but when he returned to the hospital and walked to the door of the ward, he heard a mess of vases and teacups falling to the ground and breaking, accompanied by Wanrou's desperate cry, "Go away...all of you go away..."
At the door, nurses were trying their best to comfort her, "Miss, Miss, please calm down. This is a hospital!"
"Don't come in! I told you not to come in! Who asked you to come in? Get out! All of you, get out..."
Fu Qingzhou didn't know what happened, but when he heard Wanrou's face change immediately, he didn't have time to think about it. He rushed forward and looked through the window at the situation inside the house. "What's wrong? What happened here?"
Seeing the patient's family members coming back, several nurses breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and pulled Fu Qingzhou to the front, "Sir, you're back just in time. Hurry up and persuade your girlfriend. The patient just woke up and is in a very unstable mood."
Fu Qingzhou was also a little anxious for a moment, "Why did it turn out like this? You really didn't do anything to her?"
"We didn't do anything. This lady just woke up like this and refused to let us in."
After confirming that it was not their fault, Fu Qingzhou turned around and saw the chaos in the ward and Wanrou, who had woken up but was completely emotionally broken. He could only patiently ask, "Wanrou, tell me, what happened? Only if you tell us can we help you."
Fang Wanrou stopped crying when she heard his voice and became even more nervous in an instant.
Her face turned pale, and she almost subconsciously leaned against the door to prevent him from coming in. Her other hand was still tightly covering her eyes, and she was trembling. She even accidentally poked the wound several times because she couldn't see clearly.
It was at this time that Fu Qingzhou realized that something was wrong with her, and his expression suddenly became more serious. "Wanrou, open the door first, let me see the injuries on your face, tell me what's wrong, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Fang Wanrou just cried, she turned her back to him and refused to say a word, her face full of pain and despair.
Fu Qingzhou became increasingly impatient. "Wanrou, open the door first! If there is any problem, we can solve it together."
At this time, the original attending doctor rushed over and explained the situation to him in general, "The patient may have vision problems. After the car accident yesterday, the scar from the forehead to the corner of the eye is the deepest and most serious. It is a ruptured cornea after a severe injury, so the patient's mood is so unstable."
"Ruptured cornea?"
Fu Qingzhou repeated it subconsciously. He understood what the word meant without the doctor's explanation. If it was only slightly damaged, then it might be repaired. But if it was severely ruptured, did it mean that she would most likely go blind?
When Fu Qingzhou thought of this result, his heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he felt his brain was a little confused, and his throat became increasingly dry as if it was blocked by something.
He looked up at the doctor, his eyes full of questions, "Why wasn't it detected yesterday? There were so many people yesterday, why didn't anyone detect this problem?"
"It's true that the hospital didn't do a thorough examination, but there are some car accident complications that the hospital can't completely rule out..."
The doctors and nurses also looked a little embarrassed. This was indeed their problem, but in fact the machine could not fully detect the extent of the patient's physical injuries. Many times, it was necessary to see the patient's condition after waking up to determine the extent of the injury.
Fang Wanrou's mood was very unstable at the moment. She curled up in a corner, holding her head tightly with both hands, looking helpless and pitiful.
Fu Qingzhou really couldn't just leave her like this. He asked the doctors and nurses around to leave first, and stood at the door. He slowed down his voice and kept trying to comfort her, "Wanrou, can you open the door first? We can solve any problems together. No one can help you like this."
Fang Wanrou cried and shook her head, not even daring to look up at him, fearing that she would be disliked for her current appearance. "No one can really help me. I am now, Qingzhou... do you know? I am now... blind, I am a useless person. From now on, no one will be willing to want me, and no one will care about me anymore. Even the Fang family is going to give up on me..."
"Go away, hurry up and go... Just pretend nothing happened between us! I don't want you to see me like this! I don't want you to see me in such a pitiful state!"
The more Fang Wanrou spoke, the more her emotions broke down. In the end, she couldn't control herself and burst into tears, her voice filled with fear and terror.
After hearing what she said, Fu Qingzhou felt guilty and sad, especially when he saw how wounded she was. He felt that the guilt surging in his heart was about to drown him.
He felt very sorry for her...
After hesitating for a moment, Fu Qingzhou seemed to have made a decision in his heart. His throat felt more and more blocked and uncomfortable, and he suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "No, it doesn't matter if the Fang family gives up on you. I will still be with you..."
"I will never leave you, have you forgotten? I promised you that I would always be with you."
Fang Wanrou seemed a little stunned after hearing what he said. She slowly raised her head, tears in her eyes, and slowly looked towards Fu Qingzhou at the door, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
“You really…”
She couldn't believe it, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Fu Qingzhou spent a long time and finally opened the door. He was afraid of irritating her again, so he could only slowly approach her and carefully hold her in his arms. "Don't cry. Medical technology is very advanced now. If it can't be cured in China, we will go abroad. Anyway... I will always be with you."
Hearing this, Fang Wanrou almost subconsciously grabbed his arm, dug her nails into his skin with such force, her eyes full of tension and anticipation.
"Qingzhou...are you really willing to stay with me forever?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly and said "hmm".
As he spoke, he reached out and held her shoulders, trying to help her sit on the bed.
But Fang Wanrou refused to move. She stared at him with wide eyes, tears still welling up in her eyes. "Then shall we get married? Qingzhou, let's get married when I'm discharged from the hospital, okay?"
She said this carefully.
Hearing this, Fu Qingzhou's body paused slightly. He looked directly into Wanrou's eyes, which showed tension, anxiety, panic, and helplessness. It was as if if he said no, she would collapse into complete despair...
But he instinctively felt a sense of rejection in his heart. He suppressed his discomfort and tried to comfort her, "Wanrou, marriage is not a trivial matter. We..."
"I know! I know that getting married is not a trivial matter, but this is what I have always been looking forward to."
Fang Wanrou's emotions suddenly became excited.
She suddenly felt very confused. She had become like this, but he still refused to agree?
As she spoke, tears began to fall again. Her face turned pale and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. "Will you promise me? Qingzhou, I really have nothing now. You are all I have left. Please don't leave me..."
Hearing this, Fu Qingzhou seemed to sigh softly, and seeing her pitiful expression, he finally reached out and hugged her whole body into his arms.
"Okay, I promise..."
Fang Wanrou, who was originally crying, seemed to be stunned after hearing these words. Then she reacted and a surprised and bright smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"You...you really agreed and you didn't lie to me?"
"……no."
Fang Wanrou burst into tears and laughter at once. She turned around and hugged his neck tightly, burying her entire face in his neck, and said with joy,
"I know, I know... you still can't bear to part with me."
Fu Qingzhou was silent for a long time before responding in a low voice.
"Well, don't be sad anymore. Let the doctor come in and see what the situation is. No matter what the final outcome is, I... will always be with you."
Fang Wanrou nodded in agreement and let him carry her to the bed, but her hands were still tightly holding Fu Qingzhou's arms and she refused to let go for a moment, as if she was afraid that he would disappear as soon as she let go.
…
The news that Fang Wanrou had suffered vision problems in her right eye due to a car accident quickly spread from the hospital.
Some families that originally wanted to marry into the Fang family gave up the idea after hearing the news. The Fang family had no choice. After all, it was a business marriage, and not everyone would not mind the defect on his daughter's eyes.
Because of this incident, the Fang family's attitude towards Fu Qingzhou finally softened a lot.
Perhaps a friend in need is a friend indeed, and time reveals a person's true character. Only at times like this can one see a person's true character. At times like this, he was the only one who stayed by Wanrou's side, taking care of her and never leaving her side.
The Fang family is not foolish. According to Fang Wanrou's current situation, a marriage is impossible. Moreover, even if she really marries into a certain family, she will be disliked and bullied by the man over time.
Most importantly, the Fang family currently has strong financial support, and the problem of funding shortage has been solved. There is no need to worry about the future, so it is better to go with the flow.
Not only did it give Wanrou a good home and ensure that she would not be bullied in the future, it also saved his reputation. After all, the two were originally a couple, and if it weren't for what happened to the Fu family, he would not have opposed the two of them being together.
In the final analysis, it's all fate! People who are meant to be together will eventually be together no matter how much he objects or tries to stop them.
On the other hand, it was three days later when Nan Yan heard the news that the two had been in a car accident.
During these three days, she sent many messages to Fu Qingzhou and made many phone calls, but there was no response from the other party. It was not until the third day that she learned from the landlord that Fu Qingzhou had been in the hospital.
After learning the whole story and finding out that Fang Wanrou was injured because of Fu Qingzhou, Nan Yan chuckled and thought that this world was probably coming to an end.
I just don’t know what Fu Qingzhou will choose in the end?
After calming down and thinking about the situation she might face next, she went to the kitchen to make some nourishing pork rib soup and prepared to go to the hospital to see how the two were doing.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan took another light taste of the freshly cooked food. After making sure that it tasted okay, she carefully packed it in an insulated box before going out.
When she was about to reach the hospital, she couldn't help but call Fu Qingzhou again, but as usual, no one answered the phone.
On the other side, when the ringtone rang again, Fu Qingzhou and Fang Wanrou looked at the phone almost at the same time.
Looking at the familiar number on the screen, Fu Qingzhou felt a slight pain in his heart, and suddenly he had an irresistible urge to answer the call.
But when he turned around and saw Wanrou's pale face and the fear and anxiety in her eyes, he hesitated for a moment and finally chose to hang up the phone.
After seeing his final choice, Fang Wanrou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She knew that it was selfish of her to do so, but she really couldn't let go. She carefully tried to hold his hand.
But he avoided it without leaving a trace.
Fang Wanrou felt a sour feeling in her nose and felt a little aggrieved.
But Fu Qingzhou patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go downstairs to buy you some food, don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Fang Wanrou pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Nan Yan had already arrived at the hospital lobby. Because she didn't know the specific information of the ward, she could only ask one by one at the front desk.
"Um... can you help me check it?"
"...There is a patient named Fu Qingzhou, or Fang Wanrou. She should have been sent here in a car accident three days ago. I don't know where the ward is."
Just as she was following the front desk clerk and asking questions cautiously, the elevator door suddenly opened with a ding.
When Fu Qingzhou looked up, he saw Nan Yan carrying an insulated box not far away. The moment he saw her, for some reason, his heart trembled uncontrollably.
"What are you doing here?"
Just this sound made Nan Yan stop her movements instantly.
Hearing Fu Qingzhou's voice, Nan Yan's body trembled slightly, and she immediately turned to look at the person behind her. Their eyes met instantly. Her lips moved, and a layer of watery light seemed to appear in her eyes uncontrollably.
She subconsciously took a few steps forward, but because she thought of something, she didn't dare to get too close to him. She stopped only half a meter away from him, then looked at his face carefully, "I... I came to find you."
Perhaps she hadn't expected that they would meet here, so she clenched her fingers nervously.
"I heard that you were in a car accident. I was a little worried, so I went to the hospital to see how you were doing."
Fu Qingzhou didn't know what he felt at the moment. He just looked at her so uneasy and felt as if something had stabbed his chest. Then a burst of intense pain spread in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He wondered if she was trying to deceive him again.
It’s only been three days since we last met!
Why did her face turn so pale? Her chin became pointed, and even the way she looked at him became so cautious, as if he had done something unforgivable. But she was the one who made the mistake, so why did it look like he had bullied her?
Fu Qingzhou tried his best to make his voice sound normal, but the sourness in his throat still made his voice a little hoarse, "I'm fine, it's Wanrou who was injured."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan seemed to be relieved, but she accidentally said what was in her heart.
"That's good, I'm glad you're okay..."
After saying this, she realized something was wrong. It sounded like she was hoping something would happen to Wanrou. She was afraid that he might have misunderstood her again, so she hurried to explain.
"No, don't misunderstand me, that's not what I meant. I wanted to ask, how is Wanrou injured? Is it serious?"
She was so anxious that her face turned red. She didn't even dare to look up at him. Her two fingers almost poked a hole in the incubator.
Fu Qingzhou's eyes subconsciously fell on her fingers. Seeing her fingertips were red and had some slight scratches, he frowned immediately. He didn't want to care about it at first, but he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then she looked down and saw some burns on her hands. She curled her fingers subconsciously, "It's nothing, I just got burned accidentally. By the way, this is the hot soup I just made. It's still hot and can nourish the body. You and Wanrou can drink more. It's very good for the body."
As she spoke, she handed the thermos box in her hand over to him, with an awkward smile on her face, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness, fearing that he would not accept it.
Fu Qingzhou just felt that his chest was becoming more and more uncomfortable.
He didn't know what to say. He was very angry that she and Jiang Shaoyan had teamed up to deceive him, but seeing how cautious she was, he suddenly felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
Nan Yan was still looking at him.
Fu Qingzhou let out a light breath. The depressed and swollen emotions in his chest not only did not dissipate, but accumulated more and more. He stretched out his hand and was about to take the incubator from her.
But suddenly a gentle voice came from behind.
"Qingzhou, what are you doing?"
Fu Qingzhou's men shuddered subconsciously, and the thermal box they were holding in their hands lost its grip and fell to the ground with a bang. The soup inside spilled out, most of it even onto Nan Yan's trouser legs. She stepped back due to the scald, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Fu Qingzhou's heart tightened, and he was about to go over to see how her burns were, but Wanrou walked up to him at this moment.
There was some embarrassment in her eyes, and she subconsciously reached out to pick up the insulated box on the ground, but Fu Qingzhou grabbed her wrist.
"Don't touch it! It's hot. I'll take care of it later."
When she heard this, Nan Yan looked at him with a pale face and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but she felt like her throat was blocked by something and couldn't utter a word.
Fang Wanrou looked at the two of them awkwardly, then withdrew her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know you were..."
Fu Qingzhou took Fang Wanrou's hand and pushed her back a few steps to prevent her from getting burned again. "It's okay. It has nothing to do with you. I didn't hold it steady."
Nan Yan watched the extremely tacit interaction between the two, especially Fu Qingzhou's subconscious protection of her. She felt as if her chest was being pressed down by a huge rock. The feeling was so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but feel a tingling pain even when she breathed.
"You, you are..."
Her voice sounded hoarse and even choked.
Fu Qingzhou's hand that was originally holding Fang Wanrou suddenly loosened, and Fang Wanrou seemed to have noticed nothing. She gave Nan Yan a slightly apologetic but happy smile, "Nan Yan, Qingzhou and I have decided to get married."
"……marry?"
When Nan Yan heard this, her mind went into a mess and her whole body became unstable.
She stared blankly at Fu Qingzhou standing beside her, as if she still didn't want to believe it. But when she looked at him for a long time and he didn't show any intention of refutation, the tears that had been accumulating in her eyes for a long time fell uncontrollably almost instantly.
It felt as if a piece of her chest had been dug out, and the pain was so severe that her body began to tremble slightly.
"Are you guys really getting married?"
Looking at Nan Yan's expression, Fu Qingzhou took a step forward almost subconsciously. He clenched his fingers, and suddenly he had an urge to hug her.
But at this moment, Wanrou responded first, with a satisfied smile on her face, "Well, Qingzhou has already promised me, we are going to get married after he is discharged from the hospital."
After saying that, she thought of something again, looked up at Nan Yan, and suddenly said a little embarrassedly, "Um... Nan Yan, I know this request may be a bit excessive, but I still hope that when the time comes, you can be our bridesmaid, okay?"
...to be a bridesmaid?
Nan Yan just found it unbelievable. She was crying and suddenly laughed. As if to maintain her last bit of dignity, she wiped the tears from her face with her fingers, then looked at Fu Qingzhou and asked,
"Do you want me to be your bridesmaid, too?"
There was a hint of trembling in her voice.
For a moment, Fu Qingzhou felt his throat tighten and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Especially seeing that her cheeks were completely bloodless and almost transparent, she seemed to be on the verge of emotional collapse.
Then he subconsciously said, "It's up to you. If you don't want to..."
“It doesn’t matter!”
Nan Yan interrupted him at this moment.
She looked up at him, and although she was smiling at him, tears began to flow uncontrollably.
"It's okay. I can be your bridesmaid. When the time comes... I will dress up beautifully and come to your wedding."
